Gurjapneet Singh’s four-fer, including a hat-trick, crippled Nagaland on the second day after Tamil Nadu declared their first innings at 512/3. TN’s declaration came shortly after Pradosh Ranjan Paul completed his double century. Gurjapneet then rattled Nagaland by picking four quick wickets to reduce them to 31/4. However, Dega Nischal and Yugandhar Singh denied TN further until stumps by putting up a stubborn century stand.
